In part 1 of this series debating the conceptual design of future children’s hospitals in Europe, we discussed the planning, building, merging and closing hospitals.1 We now discuss the role of public and private stakeholders as transferors of new concepts from theory into practice. Participation of hospital pediatricians in planning, financing, and decision making should be encouraged to reduce unnecessary cost and to increase the quality of hospital care. Therefore, training in public health, health economics, and systems for pediatricians and nurses would allow better understanding of the strengths and limitations of health economics and health economic analyses to participate in resource allocation decisions.

Abstract
In part 1 of this series debating the conceptual design of future children’s hospitals in Europe, we discussed the planning, building, merging and closing hospitals.1 We now discuss the role of public and private stakeholders as transferors of new concepts from theory into practice. Participation of hospital pediatricians in planning, financing, and decision making should be encouraged to reduce unnecessary cost and to increase the quality of hospital care. Therefore, training in public health, health economics, and systems for pediatricians and nurses would allow better understanding of the strengths and limitations of health economics and health economic analyses to participate in resource allocation decisions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
